The following table describes the labels in this screen. 

Applications > Syslog Server

Enable Syslog 
Server

Select this to have the NSA accept syslog logs from syslog clients. Clear it to 
stop the NSA from accepting syslog logs from syslog clients.

Log Location

Click View Files to browse to where you want to store the syslog logs on the 
NSA. 

Shares

Select the share in which to store the syslog logs.

Path

Use this if you want to further specify a folder within the share. This field 
displays the share folder’s path. Type the location of the folder using forward 
slashes as branch separators or use Browse to find or create a folder on the 
NSA. 

After you click Apply in the Syslog Server screen the NSA creates a folder 
for the current month’s logs. The folder’s name uses the year and month in 
YYYYMM format. 

Purge Policy

Select Enable Purge Policy and set a number of months in the Log 
Deletion Interval field that displays to have the NSA delete the syslog 
messages after keeping them for the specified period of time.

Regardless of how you set the purge policy, to save hard disk space the NSA 
archives the syslog logs in a .tgz file on the second day of each month and 
deletes the original folder and syslog files. The NSA creates a new folder for 
the syslog logs it receives after that. You can use a zip program such as 7-zip 
to open the archives.
